SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — The new South Berwick Public Library expects installation of permanent shelving this month and needs volunteers to move books one more time. Families, student groups and individuals are invited to form book brigades to pass books hand-to-hand from the old shelves to the new.

Book moving is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 23, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 24, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and Tuesday, Nov. 27, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Volunteers may sign up at The Volunteer Spot (http://tinyurl.com/c7wcujt), through the Friends of South Berwick Library website.

Spaces are still available for the free robot workshop for kids ages 10-18 on Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Participants will assemble their own Eco-Bot, discover how the robot functions, and design a set of control surfaces to program it to perform a simulated environmental cleanup project. No prior robot experience is needed, and all materials will be provided. To register, call Karen at 384-3308.

The library now has room to expand its popular movie collection, and donations of used or new movies on DVD are welcome.

The adult book discussion group will meet Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. to discuss “The God of Small Things” by Arundhati Roy. All are welcome. Copies are available at the circulation desk.

For more information, call 384-3308 or visit the library at 27 Young St.
